Did you feel the Thunder last night? nm

- Start date
I live 30 minutes from harrisonburg....and there WAS a big fart like sound that came from that direction
nope...buffalo crap...already smelled it...a county junior high school is located on thundering herd drive
Brutal is WV's schedule....brutal is the fact that even though the herd might finish 26-6 unless they sweep their "tournament" it will be hello CIT.......be reminded....WV's next 3 are all in the top 15......when was the last year or decade that marshla played that many ranked teams....answer......never.......and that is why , my old friend, that you are CIT or CBI bound......the NIT might take you if there are no more decent teams from other leagues, but face it....The Dantoni Doctrine is a failure at the college level......more suited to what was the WVIAC...don't know what the hell they call it now
Help me out. Do they give participation trophies to the bottom third of the Big12-2 like they do for little league kids sports? Just because WV is in the Big12-2 doesn't mean they are an elite team. You have to win some to achieve elitism.
never said elite...but did say better than marshla......queens college says hello.....20 plus wins and bound for a pay to play....has to suck
I couldn’t agree more, muthed…These guys seem to be elated that they’re a member of the “Big12-2”, never bothered by the fact they’re unable to compete with the rest of the conference! 🤣😂🤣😂 wvu = Barney Fife and the Big12 is their Esquire Club.
ok...Ill play along....please do tell me what marshla's record would be in the B12
I’m not a fortune teller, Snow. I’m sure it would be tough going. We don’t belong in the Big12, like someone else I know.
I'll venture a guess.......6-24....we;ve been doing this a long time and you know that marshla couldn't compete in WV's league ....whatever that league is....of course there will be the occasional aberration...(ND)...but it be what it be
Personally I think the Big 12 is overrated...watched the Mounties crush OSU Monday night and came away thinking the Cowboys could not beat Cammack Jr. HIgh. But Kansas is tough and you play them twice but your OOC slate where you lay in at home in November and December isn't much.
There's definitely some fallacies in regard to this NET ranking system.
WVU was somewhere in the other 20s last time someone bragged about it. Not sure how you can receive such a lofty ranking due to playing overrated teams. It's one thing to play them, but it's another thing to beat them.
5-10, while in 8th place doesn't suggest a lofty ranking in the upper 20s.
The eye test suggest a much different ranking.
Yeah, the rating system are purely subjective "Ken Pom rates us # 2" but the info Ken feeds into his computer is not objective, just his opinion.
I could only imagine the response from herd fans if their OOC schedule included Pitt, Auburn, Xavier, Purdue and Florida. The other teams we had on our OOC slate, that we whipped up on, is basically Marshallesque regular season opponents.
I'll ask this simple question, who were the top 2 teams you played this entire season? In conference or out of conference. Just give me 2 teams.
Shooting from the hip I'd say Toledo who will be the MAC champ and Duquesne who is in the hunt to win theirs! Morehead will probably win what's left of the OVC but we both beat them.
What I heard today, that if Marshall wins tonight to win the regular season title, they would get an automatic bid to the NIT if they fail to win the conference tournament and automatic NCAA bid.
so do you in any stretch of the imagination think that Toledo and Duquesne compare to Pitt Auburn Xavier Purdue Florida or any of the several top 15 teams in the B12?...cmon now....don't let your herd mentality stand in the way of right decision making
PItt ain't worth shit! Auburn is horrible, lead by their best player who from Morehead. Purdue I respect but they've taken a nosedive as of late, UF may not finish above .500. A lot of parity this year old pal!
I just looked at Toledo's schedule and I struggle to easily list their best win. Maybe UAB or Vermont.
Weren't you 2--3 against those 5 teams mentioned. It's one thing to have them on the schedule. It's another thing to beat them.
Funny watching Herd fans crowing about their number of wins against the schedule that Sagarin ranks as 243rd in the nation while our SOS ranks at 7th toughest.
I expect that no matter which post season tournament Marshall lands in they won't need hotel reservations for more than one night.

hang the banner 'we beat Toledo'. Best win this season. lol
WVU has beaten more ranked teams in the past 30 days than Marshall has beaten in the existence of their program.
Try 3-2 against Pitt - W, Auburn - W, Xavier - L, Purdue - L, Florida - W. But whatever floats your boat. Does the Herd have a good team in the weaker Sun Belt Basketball? I don't follow them like you Herd fans follow WVU.
If they make the Tourney what team will the Herd lose to in first round?
Remember the days when the herd fans used to say anyone, anytime, anywhere? Their bravado as a school left when Coach Pruett left. Now it's just give them a watered down schedule so they can feel good about themselves.
I can’t believe a guy would post this when his team refuses to play. You’re bald, George CastAnna!
do they give participation trophies to all the sunbelt teams that won't make the dance?.......hefty trophy bill there
